Released as a double LP reissue, No. 1 In Heaven / Is There More To Life Than Dancing? pairs two cult classics from the late 1970s electronic and disco scenes. No. 1 In Heaven (1979) by Sparks, produced by Giorgio Moroder, marked a sharp shift into synth-driven dance music for the band, blending theatricality with pulsating rhythms and futuristic textures. Its influence echoes through synth-pop and electro-pop to this day. The second half of the release, Is There More To Life Than Dancing? by Noël, also produced by Moroder, is a hidden gem of avant-disco—glamorous, sultry, and rhythmically hypnotic, capturing the decadent edge of the era's nightlife culture.
